ors Just in from near Hacuacha, hfty
miles south of this place, report the dis
covery of fabulously rich gold placer
diggiugs there 1t is thought that these
placer mines were worked 200 years ago
by Jesuit priests. There is much excite
ment over this discovery. and it Is quite
probable that there will be general
rush to that locality.
IT is FOUND Al PHENIX.
PHGNIx, A. T., April 26.-There is
great excitement here to-day, caused by
striking rich placer gold at depth OF
forty.one feet in an artesian we'll being
sunk in the Court House plaza. The sand
pump brought up fine gravel black
sand, which miner named 5. l.. San
ders, prospected. and out OF single
handful of gravel found dozen colors
Of coarse, bright gold. The bed rock
is not reached, which makes the discov-
ery more important, as the gold strata
NAV be several feet down. The whole
Salt River Valley is underlaid with such

voice. II was a great loss to him, b'i
II relieved the community wonderfully
When II was found that his voice wa
gone and he could not talk, he went Il
work. Leather dealers that would moi
trust him for side of sole leather
when he was suffering from the mouth
disease. let him have all the leather he
wanted on time, when they found he
wanted TO go to work with his hands
and give. his mouth a rest, and the
shoemaker soon got his customers
back, and many more. and when money
began to come in he quit hating capt.
talsts. In a few years he worked hi:
business up until he was at the head OF
mandatory, employing fifty men,
and he was a capitalist" himself.
Had the shoemaker retained his voice,
he would have been one of those agita
tors, and not having any control oven
his mouth he would have been us vic.
lent against 'capitallstic dogs" and
"bloodhounds Of the law" as were the
Spies and Fielden's. and probably he
would have been hung with the rest.
When this talking sickness comes TO an
ignorant man, late in life, the safest
thing he can do is to lose his voice,
and keep on pounding leather. or what
ever his business may be, he should
stick to it.-Peck's Sun.

Crowding the Market.

1t is quite as important an item to
sell well as IL is to breed and feed well
Generally the best time to sell a pro
duct from the farm Is when it is full
ready, says a writer in The Fraction.
Farmer. This is true of stock rs well
as other products. and it is neither a
good plan to hold after the stock !
fully ready waiting for an advance in
prices, any more than it is to crowd
them on the market before they are
fully ready The best stock rs well as
the best products not only sell at better
prices but sell the readiesi. while the
lower grades not only drop in price,
when the market is in the least over
crowded, but al much more difficult
to sell, For this reason il is an i'm.
portant item to not only have n good
quality of stock, but to prepare them in
rs good a condition as possible before
sending to market.
With many whenever there seems to
be decline in the market is the time
when they get anxious to SSH, and
many times because of the fear tina
prices will still 60 lower, they hurry
their stock to the market, OF course,
il only one farmer or stockfeeder did
this the effect would not be felt but
when number in different sections do
the same thing the markets soon be-
come overstalked and prices drop very
rapidly. Spectators are ALWAYS on
the watch for just such opportunities,
and take every advantage to do what
they can to lower prices still more
The farmer, in this way, is often dc
prived of considerable portion of his
profit and is himself TO blame for q
goodly portion. 1t is not advisable to
push stock upon falling market and
especially when they are not fully
ready or when they are not of the
best quality, as it is this class of stock
that generally feels the decline in
prices first and to the greatest extent
There is always loss in selling stock
that are fully matured or fattened, and
when to this is added low prices. it Is
evident that the margin OF profit can
very readily be cut down considerably.
And when at best our profit is small
enouph il certainly does not show
good management to make this lower by
crowding into the market when prices
are declining, and especially when
they are not fully ready. l would not
advise the keeping of stock after they
had made their growth and were fat
tened properly for market; every days
feeding after they are all ready is that
much taken direct from the profits.
This is nearly as bad as crowding them
OH the market before they are ready.
So far as possible feed them so that
they will keep gaining in weight aud
flesh while they are maturing. so that
when they have attained their growth
very little feeding will be necessary &c
fully prepare them for market, and
then sell. But do not make tho mis-
take of hurrying into market simply
because there is a decline in prices and
in this way do your part to still more
lower the prices.

A Most Beautiful Woman

From tho Revue Litterarie.
Paula de Vignier must have been
one OF the most beautiful women in
the world, if we are to credit the uani-
nous testimony of all her contem-
poraries. The tame OF her beauty
was so widespread that poems were
written in all languages extolling her
charms and designating her as paula,
the beautiful, the miracle OF nature"
Every time she showed herself in
Toulouse, her native city. she was
Immediately surrounded by a crowd
OF men and women and youths OF
both sexes, who gazed in rapture as
she passed. Travellers came q long
distance to see her. The Parliament
of Toulouse, being apprehensive OF
riots, saw no other way to prevent
breach of the peace than to address
formal request to Paula that she
would wear close veil every time she
went out. The people OF the town
were indignant at being denied the
sight of the most beautiful woman in
creation, and threatened to use vio-
lence. Whereupon the Parliament de-
creed that Paula should stand twice
q week unveiled at her window and
show herself to the public for an
hour each time. Paula complained OF
this restriction, but her remembrance
was unheeded. She retained her ex-
traordinary beauty and the symme-
try OF her figure up to the seth year
of her age.
